creative video poetry

dressed i am in the perfume
of the moon’s clairvoyance
& i unveil you with vapours of white jasmine

be soft my night, he is coming
be soft my wind, he is speaking
be soft my body, it is time to unbody

dreamt we fed fireflies, october 2020

in the bluish eye of flame
two threads entwined
a single wick
a love, a vow
from a time before time
beyond time

in this heat i imagine gods
and waters,
give off my most natural scent,
expect miracles & i offer myself

~ The God-like Things
by Lubomira Kourteva

stand wet at heaven’s gate
when the sea turns its old face away
we’ll make love in a bed of water and faith
only to marry again
and again,

in the hidden place   
where we never need to hide

~ The God-like Things
by Lubomira Kourteva

kiss me,
from where you feel me
lubov, not just with lips
kiss me, from where
you carry my home, lubov
in your heart

“If you have a golf-ball-sized consciousness, when you read a book, you’ll have a golf-ball-sized understanding; when you look out a window, a golf-ball-sized awareness; when you wake up in the morning, a golf-ball-sized wakefulness; and as you go about your day, a golf-ball-sized inner happiness. But if you can expand that consciousness, make it grow, then when you read that book, you’ll have more understanding; when you look out that window, more awareness; when you wake up, more wakefulness; as you go about your day, more inner happiness.”
